MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 295 Determined to suppress bandits

Chapter 295: Determining and Suppressing the Bandits

Her words comforted Shang Ji a lot.

He naturally understood Du Jingyi's intentions, so he held her in his arms and said nothing more.

In the following days, Shang Ji would always ask her thoughtfully if there would be any letters from her in the coming months.

He would ask questions three or two times a day, which made Du Jingyi feel that he was a little too anxious, but he himself was more calm.

It wasn't until the seventh day, when Du Jingyi actually sent a letter, that Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

 Then he started to calculate according to the book, and remember the days when he could have **** but was not easy to conceive.

　　Although the two of them had their moments of mischief afterwards, they spent the whole time peacefully.

 The autumn rain has fallen, and it is the season of harvest for all things.

At this time last year, Du Jingyi was still worried about her situation in the Duke's Mansion. Who knew that now she would become the envy of everyone.

The elders care about you, your husband and wife are loving, your son is smart and well-behaved.

 When I woke up from my nap again, I saw my husband lying quietly beside me. For a moment, I felt like the tranquility of the years had passed.

“If Madam keeps reading, I’m afraid my husband will blush.”

His abrupt words made Du Jingyi embarrassed for a moment, and then he gave him a gentle hammer and said.

“Why didn’t the general say anything when he woke up?”

"Isn't this the moment when Mrs. Greed covets my beauty? How about it, are you satisfied with what you see?"

Du Jingyi opened his mouth slightly and then said.

“General, where did you learn this check-box style sentence? It was never so improper before!”

Shang Ji smiled, held her in his arms and said.

"Aren't you going to go back to Jinling City in a few days? I agreed with His Majesty when I resigned that I would arrange everything for the Tiger and Ben Army in the next two months, so I guess I won't have much time to come back, so I’ll say something to make you happy first, and then I’ll tell you the news, and you might feel better.”

The couple have basically never been apart since last year, so if Shang Ji doesn't come home for two months, Du Jingyi will be a little upset.

 “Can’t you come back even for a moment?”

“Probably, because His Majesty has arranged for me to take my brothers from the Huben Army to suppress bandits in the surrounding hills, so…”

"Suppressing bandits? Isn't this a matter for the City Defense Department? How could it fall on the Hu Ben Army?"

The division of military duties within the Daxing Dynasty is still very clear. The Gyeonggi Division is responsible for all security activities within the city, the City Defense Division is responsible for all security activities outside the city, and the Huben Army is mainly responsible for marching, fighting, and defending the city when necessary.

 Using the Tiger and Ben troops to suppress bandits is honestly overqualified and underused.

After all, the bandits these days are just dozens or hundreds of people gathering here to mess around for a few days. They are not good at equipment or strategies.

Shang Ji smiled and said.

“When I was resigning that day, I happened to meet His Majesty cursing the commander of the City Defense Department for not being able to deal with even the mountain bandits, so this task fell on me.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi could only sigh and said.

"General, you have to be more careful." "I know, it won't take half a month, and everything will be sorted out."

Du Jingyi still knew Shang Ji’s abilities, so he didn’t give too many instructions.

After having dinner with his family, Shang Ji left with his personal guards.

With this departure, we would not see each other for more than a month at least. Du Jingyi felt a little bit reluctant to let go, but no matter how much reluctance he had in front of his family and country, he could only endure it. This was the helplessness they had as family members of military commanders.

Mrs. Gu saw the worry in her eyes and said comfortingly.

"Those who are marching and fighting cannot stay at home and live such a comfortable life every day. You must also learn to deal with yourself, otherwise there will be many more times like this in the future."

 “Thank you, grandma, for comforting me. My granddaughter-in-law knows.”

 The autumn rain fell continuously, and everything seemed to be back to the past.

However, what is different from last year is that Du Jingyi has a little Dou Ding beside him. With Brother Tai accompanying him, the days are not difficult, and it is September in the blink of an eye.

Du Jingyi has been busy these days.

As the autumn harvest came to fruition, it was natural to have to deliver account books everywhere, so Du Jingyi did not have that much time to spend with his son. Mrs. Gu and her fourth aunt took the initiative to take on this responsibility, taking Brother Tai to play in the yard every day.

 Fortunately, the courtyard of the General's Mansion is big enough. Today we can see the fish and tomorrow we can enjoy the maples. Even if we don't go out, it will take several days to see all the scenery in the General's Mansion.

 Hence, they are not worried.

 And Tagore also grew up rapidly in these flowing days, from a meatball who could only rely on others to sit up, to a meatball who can sit independently and likes to dance.

 At noon that day, Mrs. Gu took Tai Geer to sit and play in the garden at the back of the mountain after he woke up from his sleep.

The pavilion here is high, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire back mountain, and there is a pond in front of it, with some rice field fish in it. It is not very ornamental, but the taste is excellent.

Tai Ge'er is worthy of being Du Jingyi's son. He has become very naughty since he started taking complementary food. His favorite is the fish porridge made from the rice field fish. Not only does it taste sweet, but it is also very nourishing.

 After adding complementary foods, Tagore's hands and feet gradually became stronger.

The fourth aunt asked someone to order a hollow wooden knife specially for Brother Tai to play with. It was much lighter in weight. Originally, he was just allowed to hold the harp for a while, but who would have thought that after playing with it for a short while, he would have no idea how to play with it. Tong started to play.

That look and that move made my fourth aunt extremely happy.

 Because when Gu Jia Silang was still alive, he ruled the world with a big sword, so when he saw Tai Ge'er behave like this, he felt quite comforted in his heart, as if he was as happy as seeing his husband reincarnated.

"If your mother sees it, she will say that the fourth grandmother is fooling around, so while she is not here, chop her a few more times."

After hearing this, Brother Tai seemed to understand something. He held the wooden knife and chopped here and there. It was very interesting.

Mrs. Gu was made to laugh non-stop, and the sister-in-law Liu on the side also said lively.

“How about we make a set of these eighteen martial arts swords, spears, swords, and halberds for Brother Tai, and let him choose what he likes, so that he can study in the future.”

 Her suggestion made Mrs. Gu and Fourth Aunt's eyes light up and they thought it was very good.

So the fourth aunt stood up and spoke without any hesitation.

"This is simple. I'll find someone to make it. It's just that this set of swords, guns, swords and halberds can't be made in two months. I can only wait for them to come back when they return from Jinling City. Oh, it's a pity. "

I don’t know if it’s due to the weather or the raging virus. There have been a lot of illnesses in my family recently. I’m the worst offender. I’ve been sick for less than half a month. Taking medicine is basically useless. I rely on injections to relieve the symptoms, so I’ll update this. I'm quite unsure. After coding this chapter, I'm going to the hospital again. I'll continue writing when I get back. Sorry, sisters, when I get better, I will adjust the time and return to the previous early morning update. At the same time We will also provide more benefits for everyone, sorry again!
